On the E-vite that Cele sent out, she told everyone that I had been on HGTV. Not true. Should be true, but alas, erroneous information. (She constantly confuses HGTV with Dog the Bounty Hunter). So I started out my introduction by dispelling several rumors and myths -- celebrities need to do this all the time.
- I have never been on HGTV, but have been known to watch it.
- I have never piloted the space shuttle.
- I have never been playmate of the year.
- I have never won the Iditarod.
- Any hopes of getting "cultured" as a result of my little speech were completely unfounded.
The club President, Chantal, graciously hosted the meeting in her lovely home. I met lots of nice ladies, sealed the exits and yacked about how I got started on Art Everyday (Debbi Crane) as well as how I went from corporate statistic to mixed-up media artist and book author in less than three years. The ladies were wonderful - my favorite kind of audience: captive.
A Greek girl with a whole bunch of "Greek" girls.
This is Debbie. She missed the group photo so we took this one. She's an absolute hoot! Debbie was the only person in the group who had heard of CPS or Etsy. No worries, I am evangelizing the message of collage and hope to the masses. Debbie has a darling Etsy shop where she makes tassels out of vintage salt and pepper shakers. I want one from the dog of choice, Deb.Thanks to everyone at the ASCAPA for suffering me and for this neat-o Certificate of Appreciation - so sweet! A special thanks to my girlfriend,Laura for the great intro and the fab salad at Tea Fusions. Y'all were great hostesses. I'd love to come back next year if you'll have me.

Ditto Ditto Miss Katie. You said it so well. Yes, Cheryl NEEDS to be on TV. Paul said that the first time he met her. She missed her calling or she is just beginning to live her calling. Cheryl, we are talking about you behind your back.
Yes, Katie, she is hysterical and cannot wait for her to be here in Saluda. I will have to quote Katie so I can entice more students for your class on Sept 22nd.

I just came by to say that I received that cute, precious, lovely, imaginative, darling, keeping-it-forever apron invitation and am thinking about what to make! You and Debbi rock mighty hard! Thank you so much! I am trying to get organized to come to Saluda, will let you know... have a great day!
